Hello,

I'm using the boost filesystem library to implement a gtkmm widget which represents a view on the local filesystem. However, while browsing through the files (they are displayed in a TreeView), the application now and then crashs with the following error message:

[mkay][~/devel/projects/fb]: ./fb.elf

glibmm-ERROR **: unhandled exception (type std::exception) in signal handler: what: boost::filesystem::path: invalid name "lost+found" in path: "lost+found"

aborting... Aborted

Of course the path names differ, but lost+found is a typical directory found on Linux machines, so this is a representative example for the error I guess.

I have no idea what is causing this, any ideas?

Solved. Had to construct the pathS as 'native'. -- Matthias Kaeppler
